Hypocrite \Hyp"o*crite\, n. [F., fr. L. hypocrita, Gr. ? one who
   plays a part on the stage, a dissembler, feigner. See
   {Hypocrisy}.]
   One who plays a part; especially, one who, for the purpose of
   winning approbation of favor, puts on a fair outside seeming;
   one who feigns to be other and better than he is; a false
   pretender to virtue or piety; one who simulates virtue or
   piety.

         The hypocrite's hope shall perish.       --Job viii.
                                                  13.

         I dare swear he is no hypocrite, but prays from his
         heart.                                   --Shak.

   Syn: Deceiver; pretender; cheat. See {Dissembler}.
